Water broken, in America, etc Part II!

[Southsearocks]

Hi! I thought I'd better start a new thread now because it might get busy tomorrow morning and I don't want to lose you all

I didn't know about the limit. I'm still completely humbled that I've had so many well-wishers , so I feel a little self conscious. Although I think we've all been led down this path by the baby somewhat!

Am completely knackered tonight so will say goodnight and will endeavour to keep you posted on happenings tomorrow.

Thanks once again for keeping me company xxx

Another de-lurk here. I've been checking the thread every couple of hours and am on the edge of my seat. All the best and good luck.

(((((Squeeze)))))) JM ! Xx

I'm back, I know I asked you to cross your legs and hold on til I got back, but really now you can go for it!!! I am thrilled to hear you have a few contractions and a show, also getting a bit teary is another good sign that things are starting to happen.

Thinking of you Southsea. Even dh is asking after you. I hope you are too busy contracting to post an update!!!

Jacksmama - I'll have a if you're offering.....

Flip. I've been busy all day and was sure I'd come on tonight and Pebble would have arrived.

did someone say?

Exciting!! I have a bottle of wine and my baby is all tucked up in bed... I could stay on here for hours...

Go southsea!

Xx

I see I have lost the sweepstake

I'm on tenterhooks here

Bloody hell, with all the I've forgotten about the sweepstake. Someone's going to have to go back and add all the new entries. That would be someone who has more time on their hands than I do, seeing as I'm watching this thread between patients. (Pacific Time Zone).

Ok, next one is here, I leave you lot with the .

You can do it Southsea!

just checking in to see how you are doing (pinching snacks and ) x

Good luck Southsea. I reckon you must be pushing by now. Looking forward to reading the news in the morning!

Night night Southsea - remember stay 'upright, active and mobile' as much as is possible. Holding your hand from Scotland and hoping for news on pebble (or bam bam) tomorrow.

Jacksmania ? this update is also for you

Southsea

To help you refocus on the end goal here, I have reposted the range of guesses!
I hope you don?t fret too much about the labour as it progresses, it will all go fine, and you are in good hands there where you are.

What does Mr Southsea guess for the baby??????

I haven't a clue how much the baby might weigh now. I'm guessing at least 4lbs and my tum is much rounder than it was when the last estimate was done, which was 3lb 1oz, 3 weeks ago?

Summary:
53 girl votes: with most popular weights of 3 lbs 11 and 4 lbs 10
41 boy votes: with most popular weight of 4 lbs 6
3 not saying gender including yourself Southsea!

cheers everyone.

Jacksmania - I love it!! Going to name-change to it!!
to you too galway :)

Just wanted to say Hi and that I'm thinking of you! I hope you either get a baby or some sleep tonight Take care of yourself xxx

OK, it's 8:35 pm where you are - I hope things are ticking along!!!

xxxxxx

Jacks - Hi :) I saw that on the other thread :) (which has left me very confused - the thread that is, not your name change!!) How is it in your part of the world today?

Hoping that the lack of updates means things are underway.. or you're happily asleep!!

Thinking of you all!

Thought I'd drop by after sorting dd. No news is good news I reckon :o

Which thread confused you, Chipping? :)
My corner of the world was ok today... nothing exciting. Unless you count yummy Indian for lunch with my coworker. Apparently we stunk out the office on our return :o. Gorgeous and sunny if bloody freezing (by our wimpy standards) - of course it's supposed to start peeing down rain tomorrow - that would be the day I don't work . How're you???

Hoping you're either sleeping, southsea, or cuddling a baby!!! ((((((HUG))))))

Let's not go there with the threads - let's just say the buns were out and not in a good way!

Yum I love Indian!!

Sunny would be lovely (even if chilly) it has been quite mild, grey & wet here!! Shame it's not looking so good for your day off - bloody typical!!

I'm good - we went to see the Kings Speech tonight but my friend took us into the wrong cinema room and we ended up seeing the Brighton Rock! LOL (which, quite frankly, was crap! Very boring, no real story), so we will try again next week - this time I am taking charge!!

Do we get to change our dates/times - I guessed mine based on South's original induction date - I don't think she ended up being induced at the date I chose

South - hope you are reading this and being somewhat amused at us having to entertain ourselves while waiting for you!!! Come on Pebble - you have lots of Aunties wanting to meet you!!!! x This one is having to give up now and go to bed as it's 5am, will check back in the morning!!

News please southsea... impatient here

Dear Pebble,

I am sure you are really comfy and warm and secure but I have 5000 words to write and til you make an appearance I am just too distracted!

Thank you!

Ps - please give Mummy a really easy time - she is very wonderful and brave :)
